    MITCHELL & NESS X NBL Chris Goulding - “The Franchise” The opponent is his. The crowd is his. Chris Goulding’s swagger is only matched by his ability to hit game-winning daggers. A Rio Olympian and NBA prospect, Chris Goulding is the face of a franchise looking to bring home Melbourne’s first NBL title since 2006. Casey Prather - “Above the Rim” Whether he’s soaring over seven-footers or swatting away lay ups, Casey Prather plays above the rim. 2015-16 saw Prather deliver a championship to Perth in his rookie season and he believes the Wildcats can do it again. With Prather’s athleticism and versatile play at both ends of the floor, opposing teams will have a tough time proving him wrong. Anthony Drmic – “New Wave” Anthony Drmic represents the new breed of NBL guard. A long- limbed athlete with deadly shooting precision, Drmic is sure to punish defenders across the country with a dazzling array of swishing shots and spinning drives to the rim. Drmic has Olympic dreams in his sights and will treat the league as his own personal playground on his journey to greatness. Cameron Gliddon - “Mr Efficient” Cam Gliddon never wastes an opportunity. He leads his team in points per game and is one of the league’s most efficient scorers, earning him the name “Mr Efficient”. A low maintenance player that is happy to do the tough, thankless work, Cam makes the smart decisions that get wins. Make no mis- take about it, this Aussie up-and-comer is up and coming!
